Being one of the most powerful Class S cars, the SSC Ultimate Aero XT has a starting rank of 1554 and a maximum rank of 1674, same as the [[Hennessey Venom GT]]. Strange enough, its successor, the [[SSC Tuatara]], has a starting rank of 1561 and a max rank of 1659 (15 points lower than the Ultimate Aero XT's 1674), although the SSC Tuatara has a higher starting rank. Where the Venom GT is to top speed and handling, the Ultimate Aero XT is to acceleration and [[Asphalt 8 Nitro Efficiency Index|nitro power]]. The SSC Ultimate Aero XT is in fact the fastest accelerating car in the game thanks to its extreme nitro power, butting heads with the [[Lamborghini Sesto Elemento]], [[Chrysler ME412]], [[Tramontana XTR]], [[Rimac Concept One]], and [[Savage Rivale GTR]]. The SSC Ultimate Aero XT has a final rank of 1751, also shared with the Hennessey Venom GT. However, with Tuning Kits on, the SSC Ultimate Aero XT gains a bonus of +29 due to having a lower starting rank than the Venom GT's 1555 (which gives it +27), consequently gaining a rank of 1780. However, the SSC Ultimate Aero XT should not be used on [[Monaco]] due to the presence of sharp curves, which act against the Ultimate Aero XT due to its bad handling stat.
